Take your time with this step, and make sure you get the taping just right. The effort you spend doing this will result in an easier job of applying paint, and you’ll get much better results.

Step 2: Sand the Door

Once you have the taping done, smooth out imperfections in the surface of the door using sand paper.

This is just a light sanding, though, just to prep the surface for even painting.

Step 3: Apply the Paint

Now it’s time to paint.

Put a drop cloth down to keep paint spills off your front porch of entryway.

Use different sizes of brushes depending on the size of the area you’re painting. Obviously, the wider brush would be for the wider parts of the door, and the smaller brushes are for the smaller parts. An angled brush is very helpful in getting paint into the corners.
